Johnny Powers: Classic Photo

Double the fun this time. A couple of great Roger Baker photos from 1966. Johnny Powers 'The Golden Adonis' posing in front of the 'wall' at MLG and in action vs Tony Parisi. I was going to do a small feature on Powers but there is not a lot of other info out there past the readily available.

He was a regular here from 1964-1967 and returned a few times (notable bouts vs The Sheik in 1973) but was mostly traveling and running his own ventures in the U.S. and abroad.

The photos were taken about the same time that Powers took over promoting Cambridge, Galt etc from Frank Tunney and Tommy Nelson, Would like to know more about all that, let me know if you have info, In the meantime enjoy these great Classic Photo's. Thank you Roger !
